Removing the Spare Tire
Your vehicle’s spare tire is located
beneath the load floor cargo organizer in
the rear cargo area of the vehicle. All of
the tools you need to replace a flat tire
are located in the storage compartment,
on the driver’s side of the cargo area.
After use, it is important to secure
the spare tire, jack and tools properly.
See your Owner Manual for detailed
instructions.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Driving Off Paved Roads
Your VUE has been designed primarily
for use on pavement. However, if you
drive it off paved roads, keep the follow-
ing things in mind:
• If your vehicle does not have all-
wheel drive, you should not drive it
off-road unless you’re on a level,
solid surface.
• If your VUE is equipped with all-
wheel drive, you may travel on
unpaved roads to campgrounds,
picnic sites and similar sites on
occasion.
Many of the same design features
that help make the VUE responsive on
paved roads during poor weather condi-
tions — features like all-wheel drive —
help make it much better suited for
off-road use than a conventional
passenger car. Its higher ground clear-
ance also helps your vehicle step over
some off-road obstacles. But your vehi-
cle does not have features like special
underbody shielding and a transfer case
low gear range, things that are usually
thought necessary for extended or
severe off-road use.
